My son said this truck had a lot to recommend it. The cool dog character and how sturdy it felt. The wheels also "let him zoom it really far" because "they spin fast." I love that it is made with a lot of metal components so when it inevitably crashes down the stairs, that it isn't going to break into a million pieces.
The one thing we didn't love is that our truck zig zag when you push it to drive due to (I think) the suspension system. If we wanted it to go over a ramp, it was impossible to push it forward to get it to go over it. Maybe this was just our truck though and not all of them are like this.
Overall this truck is still very fun though and I know my son will enjoy playing with it for many days to come.

I was lucky enough to be given a bottle of Aveeno Daily Moisturizer to try. Being a Canadian, winter can be very harsh on my skin. I often find that the winter months make my skin feel tight and flaky. I used the Aveeno Daily Moisturizer every day for a week after showering with the moisturizing body wash and I have noticed a marked difference in my dry skin. The lotion is thick but works easily into my skin without feeling greasy. I love that it doesn't have a fragrance because sometimes too much scent is overpowering. What I love most however is that my skin feels less tight and dry. I no longer feel the urge to scratch my legs off. My husband will also use this lotion because it doesn't have a scent. Overall it's a great moisturizer. -

I was lucky enough to be given Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash Pouch -Eco Friendly Refill a try. I already love the Daily Moisturizing Body Wash and would gladly use it daily to combat dry winter skin in Canada. What is truly great about this product is that I can re-fill my product that I already love while being less damaging to the environment. I now have enough body wash to last me more than one refill with far less plastic than if I had to buy a new bottle. What a great idea! -

As a Canadian, winter can be absolutely harsh on my dry skin. I was lucky enough to get Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash from Chick Advisor to try out. I love this body wash. It is gentle on my skin and I felt clean yet moisturized after using it. I've been using it for about a week now and I've noticed that I have softer, smoother skin without the itchy tingly feeling I often get in the winter. I also love that this is fragrance free, so I don't need to feel like I have too many competing scents and that it produces a great lather without having to use much product. If you have dry, itchy skin, give Aveeno body wash a try. -
Bakugan Legends Starter 3-Pack, Collectible Action Figures (Styles May Vary)

So I was able to test Bakugan Legends Starter Pack with my sons with the Family Rated Club. I don't understand these toys and I know there's an actual game involved with them but my boys were not really interested in that.
However, they really loved folding and unfolding these toys. They spent a lot of time playing with them together and apart. They invented little back stories and incorporated them into their play with other toys.
They like them, I don't understand them but that's fine with me.

I was given Tech Deck 4Pack Primitive from SpinMaster in exchange for my honest review. Of course they weren't really interested in my review so much as that of my children. My kids were thrilled to receive this and eagerly opened it up. Of course, they weren't overly careful and little bits went flying. Be warned! Putting these together was a little beyond the abilities of my 6 year old but my 9 year old got right in there. He still needed a bit of help from his dad though. They found the sticker part of the board a bit difficult to place properly. The tool for the wheels worked well for the socket piece but wasn't quite as effective for the screwdriver. Once together my boys enjoyed pretending their fingers were riding on the boards. I personally didn't quite "get it" but that's why these are toys for kids! My sons said to give these a four star review because of the assembly difficulty only. Time will tell how much these hold their interest but for now they're having fun! -

I have tried Colgate before and have never been overly impressed but this tube of Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste Gel Repair Reverse Refresh has been the best I've tried. In the past I've found other Colgate to be too much foam and not enough fresh feeling. Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste Gel Repair Reverse Refresh made my teeth feel clean and my breath nice and fresh. I'm not sure if it is whitening my teeth but I do like the way my mouth feels after brushing! If you're looking to try something new, this is a solid choice. -

I was given Children’s TYLENOL® Easy Dissolve Packs in exchange for my honest review. The formula comes in convenient pre-measured packets which for me was the highlight of this product. Often when your children need medicine it's late or you're tired. Not having to read and measure the right amount of medicine isn't just a convenience, it's a safety issue!
The medicine dissolved quickly right on the tongue making it ok for even the fussiest of medicine takers. I liked that it didn't need any extra equipment. I could easily toss this into my bag to have just in case. I like being prepared.
Otherwise, this is just like all other Tylenol products that we know and trust as parents and caregivers. It's safe and it works. A great product.

I was given a 7 day sample of Clarins Double Serum in exchange for my honest review. The serum came individually packaged and had you crack a seam along the middle of the package to mix the two separate serum components. I honestly found this a bit messy and hard to get everything out. That being said, a full bottle of this product probably wouldn't give the same issue. I used this product at night after cleansing my skin, when it was the most absorbent. The serum was a bit sticky and my skin tends to not absorb serums of this particular consistency. This isn't to say it wouldn't be a good serum for others, just perhaps not me. I loved the rich spicy scent of the product which smelled expensive but wasn't overpowering. My skin did look nice after using the product for a few days but again, my skin didn't absorb it fully and felt a bit sticky afterwards. I think this would be an amazing serum for those with very dry skin. My skin is combination and fussy! -

I was given the Valor Kick Scooter Toy to try out in exchange for my honest opinion. It is very cool that this scooter can fold up as small as it does and once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy to fold and unfold. It rides very well and both of my children had a lot of fun playing on it. I only really have two issues. One is that the handlebar lock kept getting undone which may have been because of my children but a better way to lock it might be helpful. The other is that while it compacts down to a small size, this scooter is still heavy. I understand that they wanted to use quality materials so it would be sturdy but I would find this heavy to carry around as an adult. All of that being said, this is a fun toy that will get lots of use. -
